Our HW hunter, Silverstream (otherwise known as Boots - my sister went to Dublin several years ago and decided to buy a pair of Dubarries but saw the horse and bought him instead ...) won the hunter championship at Hickstead yesterday - he paraded with the hounds around the main arena (probably did around 8 laps of it at a fairly fast canter and a few galloping in front of the stands) - he hunted all season (he was the horse that was pictures in H&H during the winter who was criticised for being too well covered ...) and was not even puffing (bearing in mind it was midday and over 30 degrees). I really do think that he could not be much fitter at this time of year!
He loves the main arena at Hickstead - one of the few places where he can really open out and gallop the way a hunter should!
